Today is the final day of the event. We are now waiting for the breeze to fill on the course (10:00 AM). The boats are ready... sailors are geared up... the RC is trying to set the course. It is sunny and hot. A short bit of rain just now. Just enough breeze to keep it comfortable. As always, it is humid and sticky.
The organizers are getting ready for the finals banquet. They have dug up the floor of the main building and are building a river system complete with little bridges. They have added more lighting and are dragging in plants and flowers. This should be a HUGE one! The event has been filled with good music and foods, so I suspect that tonight will be over the top.
Tonight we arrange the boats for the take down process. We will be packing 20 in a container for export. The rest stay here. That is a good thing for the beach crew. We should be able to wrap this up tomorrow.
As always... it seems that time flies once it is over.
I only wish for more time to enjoy Fiji. The ones who have been traveling to other areas during the event have brought us wonderful stories about river rafting, diving, beautiful beaches, surfing and lots more... what a beautiful place. Thank you Fiji!
I took a bunch more pictures around the site this morning:

Interesting... the Puerto Rican flag seems to have shrunk over night.
